Blackpool are the favourites for the Premier League title
Published:They were expected to prop up the Premier League table, but Blackpool’s incredible first season in the Premier League puts them in with a chance of winning it.
The Premier League handicap betting gave Blackpool a 51-point advantage at the start of the season, and if you add that to their current 28-point total, the Tangerines are on 79 points.
Manchester United were given a +2 handicap at the start of the season taking their current total to 56, 23 points behind Blackpool, and that is why Man Utd are 25/1 to win the Premier League and Blackpool 5/4 in the Premier League handicap betting.

Sunderland are Blackpool’s nearest contenders in the betting market at 7/2, and they have a +36 handicap taking their total to 73.
Blackpool’s recent dip in form – they have lost their last five games – suggests that Blackpool’s run has come to a standstill, and while it would be a fairytale ending if Ian Holloway’s side were to win the league, punters should look to Sunderland or Arsenal.
Arsenal were given a +10 point lead at the start of the season, and in seasons where they’ve finished second or better in the Premier League since 2000, they’ve average 83 points.
With a 10-point handicap, Arsenal will be around the 90-point mark come the end of the season, leaving Blackpool likely to need 12 points or more to top the handicap table.
Arsenal look a great bet at 4/1 in the Premier League handicap betting and punters should look to Arsene Wenger’s side to make them a strong return.
A £25 stake on Arsenal winning the Premier League handicap would return £125. New customers can sign up here for a free Premier League bet worth £25.
